I never bothered installing X11 in OSX before, but since it was an option on Panther I decided to give it a try. Anyone have a list of good open source programs that run under X11 for OS X?

    Personally, I use:



    NMap (for scanning computers)

    Ethereal (for monitoring networks)

    & KStars (for astronomy)

    pan is a really great usenet reader



    there are a bunch of good games in fink's game section



    midnight commander is real nice if you can get it all set up correctly (it's a bit of a bitch at first). It only really works well in xterm.

    emacs of course.

    Pan is the best newsreader ever.



    You can play with all kinds of windowmanagers: blackbox, enlightenment, gnome, kde (complexity increasing generally in that order).



    xmms is a simple media player. mplayer is a video/media player (and actually has an OS X port).



    Hmmm.. I'm kind of shocked I don't seem to use more than that.
